Mr. Jenner.

Would you fix the period when Marina was in your home first, the month?

Mr. Taylor.

Uh--it was in September of 1962.

Mr. Jenner.

And all of the stay was in the month of September, and none of it in the month of October 1962?

Mr. Taylor.

My memory, as I say, is not clear back that far. But--uh--I personally have no recollection of dates involved. Even when I was first interviewed, I believed it to he during this period we are talking about. It was pinpointed for me one time that it would--that Lee left his job on or about the 6th of September and that, just going from that date, why it would, presuming, as I remember, that that was a Friday in 1962, I believe that they came she came to my home for a period of 2 weeks after that. I don't believe that it lasted any longer.

Mr. Jenner.

During this period, did you have occasion in calling from your home or place of business to call Lee Oswald at the Y.M.C.A.?

Mr. Taylor.

I believe I--uh--I may not have personally. I may have dialed the telephone for Marina and asked for him so that she could talk to him.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, did you ever seek to reach him by telephone either for yourself or for Marina?

Mr. Taylor.

I don't specifically remember an occasion doing that.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall any occasion when you made a telephone call to the Y.M.C.A. in an effort to reach Lee Oswald?

Mr. Taylor.

No; not specifically. I could only say that it is probable that I would have.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall whether Mrs. Taylor ever made an effort to do so?

Mr. Taylor.

No; I don't recall her having made an effort to do that.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, I'll put it this way: Did you ever have any trouble finding Lee Oswald, whether by telephone or direct visit, at the Y.M.C.A.?

Mr. Taylor.

I never had any trouble locating him at the Y.M.C.A. when I made an attempt to. I never remember any difficulty in contacting him there.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, I gather that Marina's visit at your home terminated at the end of about 2 weeks. Did anything occur during those 2 weeks about which we have not talked that arrested your attention?

Mr. Taylor.

Uh--nothing, outside of possibly some insights into Marina--I mean, her personality and how she acted. There was nothing that arrested my attention.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Tell us about that.

Mr. Taylor.

Uh--she personally seemed to be person of a number of fine qualities--an excellent mother, possibly even doting too much upon her child, and a clean person in her habits and, as best she could, in her dress. And she seemed very intelligent and interested in learning all that she could about her new environment.

Mr. Jenner.

You don't mean her new environment in your home---you mean----?

Mr. Taylor.

I'm talking about in this country.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Taylor.

And I do have one recollection pursuant to this about her desire to learn English.

Mr. Jenner.

I was going to ask you about that. Go ahead.

Mr. Taylor.

During the period that I knew them, on several occasions, this subject came up. And Lee was in opposition to her learning English--not---he would not come out, at least, never did around me, and say that he didn't want her to learn English but--uh--he was or did appear to be in opposition to it. And George De Mohrenschildt prepared for Marina several lessons in English--and I believe that Lee later took them away from her.

Mr. Jenner.

I would like to have you give me as much on this series of incidents, with respect to her learning the English language and becoming more proficient in its use. First--as to what you based your present comments upon, by way of what occurred, that you recall? Something occurred to her to lead you to state as you have stated in terms of conclusion that Lee did not wish her to learn the English language. And, secondly, that Lee took from her the
